Tweetyyyyyyyyyy.........

　A thunderous metallic sound cut through the space.
　Confronting each other in the light green glowing room was me and my mom.
　We clash our magically enhanced swords and swords against each other.
　At the same time, wariness, supremacy, and killing spirit swelled up, and with an impact break, we slid down the floor.

''Guh!''

　I contorted my face so much that I could see it for myself.
　Heavy. And fast.
　I could barely catch its physical strength, nor could I catch up with the speed of its sword.
　Of course, I didn't go easy on him.
　His muscles, which he had trained for 14 years, were exerting their maximum power.

　But his opponent was definitely better than him in terms of basic ability.

　After all, the one in front of me is me.
　Even though it's a duplicate, even though its form has changed, it's a reproduction of the peak of my [Blacksmith] days.

　I'm well aware of its strength.

　Giiinnnn!

　The high-pitched sound echoed again.
　My sword was completely played.
　My stance collapses.

　Not good.........

　Block, evade--.

　No, none of them are good.
　In that case--.
　I let go of the sword in my hand.
　I stretched out my free hands.
　Immediately after, the deadly sword split the air and swung from above my head.

　I prepared myself and closed my hands.

''Ho........''

　Mom let out a breath of admiration.
　I, on the other hand, had caught Mom's slash with both hands.
　Serious White Bladetori.
　It is a defensive type of 'sword art' that has been passed down in the Eastern Kingdom of Siphon.

"You want to catch the blade with your hand? Don't be so dexterous.

　Mom sneers.

　It's Mom who has the upper hand.
　I'm helpless.
　If I keep putting my strength into it, I can push it off.

'(I'm sure she thinks so...)

　I raised the corner of my mouth.

　Then I changed the direction of the force a bit, not against the force on the sword as it caught the blade.
　Just like that, Mom's stance became forward.
　Quickly, I take an elbow strike to Mom's face.
　When it hits her directly, her grip on the sword loosens for a moment.
　Without missing it, I swing the sword down on Mom's wrist.

　With a high-pitched sound, the sword fell to the ground.

　Mama rushes to pick it up.
　I also pick up the sword that I dropped.
　We grabbed each other's prey at almost the same time and without hesitation, I fired a slash at their throats.

　Caggyiinin!

　The sound of metal echoed again.
　For a moment the sparks flew and then disappeared.
　But the sparks of the glaring contest between me and Mom never went away.

　It was my mom who opened her mouth first.

'Quite an interesting thing to do, isn't it?　Where did you learn that?

If you beat me, I'll tell you.

Don't forget those words.

　Mom smiles thinly.
　She looks like a cute teenage girl in the prime of her life.
　But the smile on her face is so thin that it sends a chill down my spine.

　Mama plays me as hard as she can.

　I was blown away without a care in the world.
　In a simple contest of strength, they are still overwhelmingly superior.

　But I look like I've been blown off and quickly adjust my position.
　I flew backwards by myself from a moment ago.
　I was going to add a counter when Mom chased after me, but apparently she had read that thought.

　Mum stopped and waveringly readjusted her sword.

'What's the matter, wise man? Why don't you use it.

Hmm?

You're only activating Blacksmith's magic.

'Ha!　You got me.

　I cower lightly.

　It's just as Mom pointed out.
　I'm still only using [Blacksmith (Blacksmith)] magic.
　I use 【Blacksmith(Blacksmith)】 magic that was multiply activated to the fullest extent on my sword and armor, but physically, it was unenhanced.

''I wanted to weigh my strength as a [Blacksmith (Blacksmith)].

I see. You know the feeling.

　Of course it is.
　After all, you are me.

Are you really the one who just took a replica of me and made it into a body?

　Even I have no idea how in the world she became so strong, but even I have no idea.
　Even if she has inherited my memories, it would take a great deal of training to make a girl's body a more basic ability than mine.

　The only thing I can think of is........

''Does that body look like a girl and live for more than 100 years--or...''

You got me. That's me.

　I don't know why.
　"I'm not happy at all when I'm praised by me.

　Perhaps it's because the spirit water has spared me from aging.
　Maybe it's the body of a child because I want to keep my soft muscles intact.

I have been in this body for about 105 years now.

'I see. By the way, where the hell were you when I crushed the demon race?

"Inside the cave. I was working so hard on my research to survive, and before I knew it, the demon tribe was extinct. You've been in the hole for a couple of hundred years at the very least.

　That's just the way it is....
　I'd probably do that if I were you.
　I'm not going to be able to say that it's a good idea.

"And the results of that research are in here, high purity spirit water and a demon.

"The Fiend is my version of the original technology. In fact, I didn't have much trouble with it. It was more difficult to collect the pieces of flesh from the extinct demon race.

You weren't afraid to make a man into another creature?

It wasn't..... I would be lying if I said that. But since you're Me too, I'm sure you would have done the opposite if you were in a different position.

Well I'm not sure.

'The chatter is over, wise man. It's about time you got your breath back. It's time to start getting serious. A wise man, or rather, a real villager...

Don't worry. This is where it all starts.

　I'll activate the magic.

　[Dragon Power]

　Like the power of a dragon, it is a magic that increases your overall physical abilities.
　But that's not the only amazing thing about 【Dragon Power】.

''This magic even amplifies magic power.''

　I mean--

　I'm going to activate more magic.

　[Muscle mass enhancement]
　[Acceleration]
　[Agility increases]
　[Leg strength rising]
　[Bodyguard]
　[Defense]
　[Shock resistance]
　[Core strengthening]

　I activate multiple [Warrior] magic.

　I add more to it.

　[Sharpness]
　[Hardness increases]
　[Attribute granted]
　[Object acceleration]
　[Modified]

　The magic of the [Blacksmith (Blacksmith)] was activated multiple times.

　The basic ability inside me was rising.
　My muscles were about to burst out at any moment.
　I grabbed the sword that was further layered with the magic of the blacksmith.

　I'm ready.
　All that's left to do now is to march on the enemy in front of me.

　I kick the ground.
　I gutted the hard stone floor and was in mama's bosom in an instant.
　As it is, I swing the first blow down.

　Geeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

　A thunderous sound rang out as well as the howling of the dragon.
　Mama took the sword to the side, but backed away, gouging the ground.
　Still, she didn't panic.
　The corners of her mouth twisted fearlessly.

''That's as good as it gets. A multiple activation of magic from [Dragon Power]? It seems you're proficient in other magic.''

That's what I'm talking about. "Me."

Yeah. But this much is to be expected.

　Mom still plays my sword.
　But not before being blown away.
　I was only able to turn my body upside down a little.

　Here I was convinced that the difference in basic abilities between me and my mom had been closed.

　The two of us were hitting each other at god speed.
　At some point, my mom and I become difficult to see.
　It just cut through the air and the sound of the sword fight became an impact breaker, sliding across the floor and walls.

'That's great, wise man.'

You too, "me."

But we won't get anywhere if we keep having this conversation.

I don't mind. I can do my best for the first time in a long time. Stick with me a little longer.

Nobody likes a man who doesn't stick around.

You are me. Then you know it.

　I'm stubborn against the strong!

　Geez!

　There was the sound of another sword fight.
　I twitched and stopped moving.
　It was because the moment I paid off my mom's sword, I spotted something flickering in the back of the room.

　It was a weapon.

　One, two.........
　No, there were countless weapons floating in the air that could have kept me up all night just counting them accurately.
　Their cutting points were pointing towards me.
　Reflecting a light green light, they flashed like wolf's fangs.

''That's...''

It will be a long time coming for you.

　It's a magic technique I invented when I was a 【Blacksmith】.

　First of all, you activate 【Duplicate】, then you diligently duplicate the weapon.
　And then I fill it with plenty of weapon strengthening systems such as 【Sharpness】, add the wind attribute to 【Attribute Grant】, and control all of those weapons with magical power.

　And then ...

''Fire!

　Launch.
　Furthermore, by the effect of [Object Acceleration], the weapon is a shell, annihilating ten thousand armies and drilling a large hole in the body of a single person.

　Its name is ...


　[Warrior Cleaves Thousand Blades (Thousand), Pierces Ten Thousand Spears (Blaise)]!


　Thousands of swords and tens of thousands of spears were being launched at me.
